PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — The mood, understandably, was not great. Bryson DeChambeau played the entire first round of the British Open without making a birdie. That’s exceedingly rare for him in any event, on any course.
Throw in a couple of double bogeys including one hole where he whiffed and it was a trying day, to say the least. DeChambeau shot 78—7 over par—and appeared headed out of Northern Ireland on Friday evening.
